Betty Jo Regarding the posting on SCMarion Digest #58 "Rogers in the Fork Baptist Church Cemetery" You mentioned Ben Frank Rogers, b.3-4-1918. d.4-1-1945 363 Field Artillery, World War II, and said you did not recognize the name. According to information I got from my Uncle, Ed Caldwell (also known as "Sparky" or "Bug") Ben Frank was the son of Sally Kitt Edwards and William Sydney Rogers. He stated that Ben Frank never married, and evidently lost an arm during the war. I have not done any research on that line of the family yet, but Uncle Sparky had done quite a bit on the Edwards line. Hope this helps.

In reply to Marty: Some of the Elvington/Yelverton family of Marion/Dillon went to Decatur County, Decaturville Post Office, Tennessee. They were counted there in the 1860 census, not sure how much earlier they arrived. Cenus shows some children born in SC, some in TN, but unsure whose children they were. In 1860 Decatur, TN, John Yelverton, age 31, born in SC was enumerated beside (W. or M.?) Johnson, age 43, born in SC. Could be just a coincidence. The Johnson family appears to have just arrived from South Carolina. I don't know how close or far Decatur was to Henderson County. At any rate, it seems much too late to have anything to do with your Sherrod Johnson. But thought you might have some interest. Family #301 John Yelverton 31 male farmer born SC W. Yelverton 41 female domestic SC J. Yelverton 23 male SC (This is believed to be Gimpsey Elvington, grandson A. Yelverton 17 female SC of old John Yelvington. See Probate Rolls) D.

Mildred, Thanks for sharing that migration story. You are absolutely right! I really do think our ancestors were made of sturdy stuff!! Cathy

Elona, Mildred & Larry: Larry, WOW! And I thought my ancestors moved around! You are right, migration is very interesting. I noticed that at one point Clarke Co., MS was also a destination. That is coincidental because some of the Price's from Marion Co., SC moved to that area of MS as well (1840-1850). I think you may be right about families having a person in a remote area that writes back to say how nice it is and then another person in that family moves there. Elona & Mildred - thanks for the migration response. Elona & Larry, you might be right about the oranges, I hadn't thought about that (duh---and I'm born & raised Floridian!). My Price ancestor (Laban) never saw the freeze of 1894, he died in 1876, however his wife and children did. My Great Grandfather, John Price, Laban's son also owned a small orange grove, so that could be significant. Cathy

Cathy, In 1885, my g.grandfather, John Wesley Bridges, born in GA of SC parents, was living in Little Rock, Arkansas. He loaded up his family things on 1 wagon, and he, his wife, Frances Slattery Bridges, and all their children who were not married, WALKED to Coleman, Sumter Co.,FLA, to buy land and grow oranges because his brother, Dr. Clinton Hennigan Bridges, was very successful there. My grandmother, Millie Bridges, was 10 when they made the journey. I have one of the few trunks they took on this trip. They lived in FLA until the freeze of 1894, when their crop was ruined. He once again loaded up his family, and they walked BACK to Pulaski Co.,ARK. My grandmother was 20 by this time, and she used to tell me how they would camp out at night, and travelers going in both directions would camp with them. They would build a big fire, and my grandmother would play her guitar (by ear) and all would sing until late in the evening, after supper. I drove my mother to that little town in 1988, and it took us two days of hard driving in a big car. We just couldn't imagine walking it from Little Rock. Those folks were made of sturdy stuff!! Mildred

I doubt anyone really knows. In walking the rural cemetery in Navarro Co, Texas where my GGrandparents are buried , we counted 14 tombstones for 1918-1919 for children under the age of 5.One family lost 3 children within the space of a month. In some rural communities they were so far out that the doctor might not make it before the child (or adult) died. thanks, Tammy ----- Original Message ----- From: Delaney <DelaneyB@mindspring.com> To: <SCMARION-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, July 30, 2001 7:19 PM Subject: Re: [SCMARION-L] Re: Surname GALE / GALES > Elona, > > Lewis HORTON of Marion/Horry Counties SC moved to Florida, too, sometime > before the flu epidemic of 1919 in which he died.

Larry, has any connection ever been made between your Marlboro/Marion Lamb family and the early Lambs in Bladen/Robeson, NC? Jo Church Dickerson

Cathy, I think this is the most interesting subject in genealogy--migration. What made families split up and go in different directions? I still have some Lambs that moved to other parts of the South, but where and why is still not known. I still think there must have been a relative or friend of the family living in some far place that wrote home telling of the great life they were experiencing. Whatever it may have been, it helped guide our families to where they are today. The Lambs that lived in Marion County, SC (1850s - 1890s) came from Marlboro County, SC (~1790s - 1850s) and before that Alexander Lamb moved from New Jersey/New York. We suspect that he was a Loyalist, because he did so well while he was in the Hudson River area before the Revolutionary War period, but because of differences, he moved south. Before the War of Northern Aggression, John Josiah Lamb (William D. Lamb's brother, uncle to the sons) moves to Columbia County (Providence). He becomes a Florida State Senator during the early 1860s. His brother, Samuel Sparks Lamb (farmer), marries Mary Emma Brown of Marion County, SC in 1853 and moves to Clarke County, MS about 1855 - 1857. His wife dies in 1859-1860 and he marries Sarah Elizabeth McLeod of Mississippi in 1861. They move to Manatee County, FL to establish the city of Palmetto (the name is in remembrance of his home state). His sister, Julia Elizabeth Lamb, marries Richard Ellerbe of Marion County, SC about 1854. They move to Polk County, FL (Lakeland) around 1861 - 1863. He was a timberman. Now for the sons of William D. Lamb In the 1880 Federal census William D. Lamb is living in Marion County, SC along with his wife and eight sons. It is in this decade that the migration starts, possibly with my granddaddy. In the Special Florida Census (dated 30 June 1885), my granddaddy, Lawrence D. Lamb, is listed in Sumter County, FL. He marries Abbie Rena Wilson in a double wedding (along with his next younger brother--William B. Lamb) on 16 January 1889. (William B. Lamb marries Abbie Rena's mother.) So far we have two brothers, both farmers migrating to Sumter County, FL. (I believe this county is also named for its South Carolina roots.) Lawrence D. Lamb eventually becomes a share cropper moving from Sumter County, FL to Washington County, AL to Polk County, GA, back to Sumter County, FL. William B. Lamb stays in Sumter County (Center Hill). His wife inherits farm from her first husband--John Wilson. The following weddings all occurred in Marion County, FL. John C. Lamb marrying a Emma D. Sessler from Anthony, FL on 27 April 1892. Henry G. Lamb marrying a Helen B. Meadows from Anthony, FL on 1 Nov 1894. Samuel P. Lamb marrying an Elizabeth Merrit of Lake County on 2 Dec 1888. (I'm not sure what happens to his first wife, but he marries a Hattie Meadows (sister of Helen B. Meadows) from Anthony, FL on 19 July 1899.) A few notes to mention--in the 1895 Marion County Census Samuel P. Lamb is living with his brother John C. Lamb (insurance agent), wife & son. Henry G. Lamb (farmer) is listed as a hireling under his father-in-law, Harney Meadows. The last three brothers came after this census. Louis A. Lamb died 14 August 1897 and is buried in Anthony, FL. I have been told that he was married to a Nannie C. Smith, possibly of Marion County, SC. I could not find her grave or any record of her being in Florida. One interesting observation is that both Louis and his daddy, William D. Lamb are buried using the same headstone. William D. Lamb's wife is buried in Marion County, SC (Moody Berry Cemetery) and I would suspect that Louis' wife is buried up in Marion County also. Besides, Louis is the eldest brother and the first to pass away. Another brother, Thomas A. Lamb was married to Chrazetter Campbell of Marion County, SC. Given circumstances that have appeared suspicious, they left Marion County, SC in haste in 1897 and moved to Anthony, FL. Both are buried in Anthony. The last brother and youngest, James Moody Lamb, is the one that I have very little on. I have him listed on the 1917 Draft living in Polk County, FL. One important date that occurred in Florida during this time frame is the Freeze of 1894-95. It devastated the citrus business and I suspect this is what encouraged Lawrence D. Lamb to move as he did.
